πŸ”½ Drop Down List Setup

The Drop Down List Setup section allows you to add, edit, activate, or deactivate dropdown options used throughout e-manage|ONE. These lists drive consistency and control across your workflows, so proper setup and maintenance are essential.

We strongly recommend marking unused dropdowns as β€œNot Active” rather than deleting them. This preserves historical data while allowing for future adjustments as your business evolves.
